More Cement Trucks

 

Well, this is the 3rd time that cement trucks have come down our street, in the last two weeks.

It's being delivered down the street, and I haven't gotten out in the cold weather today, so I don't know what it's going to ......?

Deep Trench

 I borrowed this picture.......

In The Yard

 

They have made it to the yard, and are finishing up on the job they started yesterday, next door.

It's lunch time, right now but the fun begins, this afternoon.

Almost Here

 

Well, they've made it to the house next door, and it looks like we will get ours done soon.

 

I'm not ready for when they attack our water lines, their so old and brittle.

New Water Pipes

 

Here comes the new water lines, we are going to get.....

Storms

 

Shown here is just one of the homes destroyed by what was considered to be high winds.  Rockwall, Tx became a target when bad weather came through Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning.  The storms left a path through more than one State, and many locals are without power according to reports.  

We visited the area in Rockwall, Tx, yesterday evening, and was unable to go to the actual area, because security was enforcing the possible threat of looting, from people who do not live in the location.  

Midland, Tx suffered a tornado, while these storms were passing through, and other areas here, sustained damage from the high winds, as well.

Walmart Sign

 

There is the first sign to be put up, but it's not the big one which will soar over the north side of I-30 at the front entrance of the building.

 

As you can see the front has many of the location signs for different departments mounted on the front of the building.

 

I understand that Walmart is already taking applications for jobs, before the store is ready to open in November.  In the foreground you see sodded grass being watered, so I am wondering where the USA Murphy's gas pumps, will be installed?  From the looks of things, it may be on the east side of the building near the entrance on Irby Campbell Blvd.

Down The Drain

 

We have been put under a water restriction because of the drought situation, and here you see water going down the drain.  Yet, our city is getting ready to hike our water bill another $12, which would bring our base bill of $63.49, up to $75.49.  This is a hard pill to swallow considering that our town already pays much higher prices from the North Texas Water District, than many other surrounding towns.  Now, what do you think the elderly and fixed income citizens are expected to do?
